The Demon General Appears — Xiao Yan and Mi-An in the Pure Universe
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and Mi-An advanced into the vast expanse of the pure universe. Energy flowed in every direction, so potent and untainted that it pressed against them like an invisible wall.
"No demons should be here," Xiao Yan said, eyes scanning the horizon.
Mi-An cut him off sharply. "What do you know?"
The calm was broken as a figure appeared—young, hairy, and terrifyingly handsome, radiating a power that immediately made the hairs on their necks stand on end.
"Inaski!" Mi-An called out, recognition flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened. "You know him?"
"I… read the records," Mi-An replied, her voice steady but tense. "He is the Demon General. He killed Saint Bio Yi—the greatest of the eleven Saints—one thousand years ago."
Xiao Yan's heart sank. "That means… we will die here."
Mi-An's eyes hardened. "Let's quit before he reaches us."
"No," Xiao Yan insisted, stepping forward. "You can't give up without trying."
Mi-An blinked at him, shocked. Is he trying to impress me? she thought. No… he can't be that foolish.
